Rhw post war Jeep CJ2A was also tested as it and the PW were marketed as farm utility vehicles and they wanted to be rated to pull farm implements. I have had very good experiences so far, mainly as the sled weight and rate of drag increase is based on the specs from the test such as brake horse power and tractive effort, plus the stock pintle hitch is more than adequate for the pull and remember, its an L head six! You only run it around 1200-1500 rpm to start as that is the best HP range once the sled gets loaded down and the pull gets tougher you will loose traction and spin tires before any damage will occur. But, if the conditions are right and the ground is right you will make it past the finish line before you loose traction! (Or in my first case power out)
